Should Your State Legalize Pot?

Measure AA Will Be on June 3 Ballots - Do You Know What It's…
Walt Bishop April 15, 2014 at 08:57 am
I am an avid mountain biker who will be voting No. It makes no sense to have my property tax…Read More increase when I have to drive hours for a recreational mountain bike opportunity. Mountain biking is a form of recreation of which the open space districts do not support. The only reason mountain bikes are allowed is due to a mandate for multiple use at the time the land was acquired. Over the years the open space districts have closed numerous trails used by mountain bikers. There is an inherent risk of injury, of which, the state of California includes mountain biking. The open space district does not follow this legislation. The open space district uses this risk of injury as a way to prohibit the recreational opportunity. Riding a mountain bike in open space does not require money. Mountain bikers are young and energetic and have offered numerous times, to the districts, to build new trails and maintain existing designated routes.
TM April 15, 2014 at 10:14 am
In regards to bikes on trails: I used to lead hikes in El Corte de Madera OSP which allows bikes. NO…Read More MORE will I go there on weekends, just too dangerous as a pedestrian. I'm sorry, but there are just too many 'bad seed' bike riders that practice that I'm in THEIR way for momentum [speeding] on trails. I once met a MROSD ranger that stated he "would NOT take his 5 year old daughter for a walk in this park on weekends." What does that tell you about safety? Mind you I'm not against bikes on trails. Just that their courtesy level isn't where it should be. Yes, the law of physics says the larger faster item will always win. I. as a pedestrian, don't always want to be on the losing end of that equation. Bikes aside, I will not be voting for this bond measure even though I am an avid hiker and user of their parks. It's too open ended on what it pays for. Like most any construction project these days, inflation costs are to be expected as a project tries for completion. So how many of those 25 projects will be completed before MROSD comes asking for more $$$ to complete them? AND, when will this bond measure be paid off and be deleted from my property tax bill? Maybe if they had asked for half of that $300mil they could have impressed me with what they can accomplish, above what is already on my tax bill.

How this turned into a gay agenda conversation I have no idea, but I will give my 2 cents since it…Read More seems people are missing a bit of perspective. It is a civil rights issue. Our constitution is supposed to protect the rights of all people, including minorities. If you substituted the word gay for black in any of your posts, how would it sound? Don't tell me it is any different because it is not at all. We are talking about the equal rights of a minority group, all people in our society should be free from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life, behavior, or political views. Were African Americans being intolerant when they "whined" that they were not allowed to do many things, including interracial marriage? It is no different, it is people's rights in this free country. People are allowed to have their views, but if they conflict with the basic core that our country was founded on, freedom and liberty for ALL, then yes, that person should be labeled as intolerant of others civil rights. I hope you can understand that it is on a completely different level than calling a politician a name. It is not a liberal, gay agenda, it is an American one and I will stand up for any group that is being oppressed in our country based on race or in this case sexual orientation.

Thank you, Amy. I've also had a very hard time figuring out how to confront this issue. It is…Read More difficult when it becomes apparent that it just isn't nonsense anymore, it's dangerous nonsense. People will literally die if the anti-vaxx crowd is successful at convincing people not to vaccinate their kids. Potentially a lot of people. When you combine that with the stupidity, outright lies and paranoia displayed by celebrity spokes-people like Jenny McCarthy it becomes really hard to maintain ones composure (oops, I just lost mine). I suppose it's best to treat everyone as one would treat a good friend who is skeptical of modern medicine and scared for their children. As far as the black helicopter people go, I'm not sure what can be done to convince them, since they invariably believe that any data not conforming to their beliefs must the due to a conspiracy of some kind. I've known a lot of publicly funded scientists over the years, and the idea that they could all somehow be conspiring to harm public health in order to enrich corporations is ludicrous and insulting. Part of the problem is that as a result of reasonable skepticism of expert opinion, many people have decided that there is no such thing. Or, even worse, they pick people who have zero expertise but who are good at manipulating their fears. So now we have a huge population of scientifically illiterate people who no longer trust doctors, but are willing to put all their faith in internet scam artists like the "Health Ranger". This can't end well.

They obfuscate the argument by saying it is all about finances -- just like you do around your kitchen table. That is a lie. Sovereign countries with fiat money (their own money not tied to a commodity like gold) chooses winners and losers by its policies. The "debt" gets fixed with increased GDP, inflation, taxes or a combination. These "debter" guys are all about zero inflation, high return on capital and paying for it with taxes on wage earners with depressed wages. It is partisan and it is the Republican agenda.

The Department of Adoption & Child Custody Advocacy, under the Authority of Illinois Statutes, conducts investigations and submits intensive social studies in the form of written reports to the Circuit Court. These investigations include independent adoption placements, contested adoptions, custody/visitation, diputes in domestic relations and parentage cases, probate (minors, disabled minors and/or adults and the elderly).
This agency renders services for a large number of indigent families and provides the Court with written information regarding the home situation. The main focus is the best interests of children in adoption, custody/visitation and probate cases. The Department renders an invaluable service for the welfare of the citizens and community.
Intake functions to screen prospective adoptive parents, securing information to ascertain in a preliminary interview, prior to placement, whether they are suitable parents for the child. Intake caseworkers also interview birth parents prior to the termination of their rights. Extensive background information is taken from birth parents with the understanding that this information will be available to the adoptive parents and the adoptee later in life.
In custody, probate investigations, Intake personnel secure basic information to forward to Field staff in the form of a case file to be used in initiating the caseworker's investigation.
The focus of the field caseworker on adoptive studies is to determine that a placement of a child in a home is suitable from the emotional and physical standpoint. A home study is made to determine that the adoptive parents can and will provide a sound, healthy environment for the child. Medical, social, financial information etc. is obtained. The result of fingerprinting information is compiled. The adoptive parents are given background information on the birth parents. Medical and birth histories are also given.
The caseworkers investigate and advise the Court of their findings in written reports. The purpose is to ensure that all necessary information is available to the Court in determining the best interests of the child.
When a dispute arises in the Domestic Relations, Municipal and Probate Divisions of the Circuit Court regarding custody or visitation of children, the Court may order the Department to conduct a home study evaluation of the involved parties: parents, step-parents, children, guardians, babysitters and extended family members.
The Department offers post-adoption services involving inquiries from adult adoptees and to a lesser degree from birth parents for non-identifying information concerning the adoptee's biological background or the couple with whom the child is placed. The Department may also be called upon to act as Confidential Intermediary in adoption matters its handled in the past. This entails conducting a search to locate an adoptee's biological family to ascertain current medical and psychological information. The Department also offers meditation on probate cases.

Drive with confidence Le Mans 2012
Uploaded May 09, 2012 by stoney
LeMans 2012 Drive with confidence with Dunlop. This design pays homage to Dunlop as one of the global foremost leading tyre companies and Great Britain's motor sport heritage, together as one unique team. The design incorporates Dunlop's tyre tread, the black and white finish line flag and the union jack, designed to wrap around the car and its driver, making this a striking and patriotic car design.

I think this is ABSOLUTELY BY FAR the NICEST DESIGN I have seen until now.
(and as tonight is the closing date for entries, there is little chance that there will be a design that can get close to this).
So surely a "like" from me.
The design is colourful, includes the Dunlop colours, has some very nice features (such as the waving flag and the map on the roof).
Also the clever use of the blue colour makes for a terrific design.
I know my design is not so sophisticated (althoug I do think my idea behind it is quite original). But to be honest, I can't match this kind of design quality.
So I would really like to see this design in reality.
Only a pity that you entered so late, because some designs have gathered already more than 1K in votes... so you depend on your national jury to pick it as 4th finalist of the UK..
It would be a mistake if they didn't pick this one.. Good Luck.

Pop! Case w/ Stand for Samsung Galaxy S3
based on 23 user reviews.
The lightweight body of the Pop! protects the Samsung Galaxy S III from unforeseeable drops and falls. A built-in stand extends for an ideal viewing screen or remains hidden for a flat back cover. An innovative lay-flat design lifts the screen away from surfaces. Easy-to-grip rubber sides make it fun to hold, while the two-toned color combinations create a contemporary look and feel.

Samsung SIII Tough Case/Samsung SII Pop Case
I purchased the S3 Tough case expecting to get a similar case as the S2 Pop, it was similar in every respect except for the stand, which is why I bought the Pop in the first place. This case is no where near as good as the S2 Pop, and even though I love the case, I am disappointed in the stand !!
-Mandy Gee
great case
Sleek case with rubber gripping, great case great protection
Well designed case!
I love that this case is thin and light, has a beautiful stylish look and design; and especially that it is smooth on the back yet has just enough gripper surface on the sides to hang on to it securely. Wonderful purchase. And the company stands behind it for a year.
-Nancy Fordham
does the job and more
Very happy with looks and performance of case, rubber sides add grip to the case and stand pops out easily if u want to stand it up, otherwise u don't know the stand is there.
Happy with My Case
I am happy with my case. It protects the phone (dropped 2x so far from waist height with no issues. The ports are easily accessible and side buttons easy to use.
I have had many Case-Mate cases but this one was so disappointing. Within a few weeks the case cracked at the headphone jack (i never use) and at the charging port. I never dropped or misused. Reluctant to buy another.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2012 GMC Canyon Regular Cab
By KBB.com Editors
The 2011 GMC Canyon is the mirror image of its sister vehicle, the Chevrolet Colorado. GMC adds a few upscale touches, but, for the most part, the two are interchangeable at every level. As with the Colorado, the Canyon offers customers a compact truck big on value, with a choice of four, five or eight-cylinder engines, two-wheel or four-wheel drive and three configurations: Regular Cab, Extended Cab and Crew Cab. Though generally not as powerful or roomy as the imports, the Canyon does have its strong points, namely an affordable base price and relatively good fuel economy.
If you like the clean yet bold look of GMC pickup design, but want it in a smaller package that gets better fuel economy, check out the 2011 GMC Canyon. We think the optional five-cylinder engine is an under-appreciated gem.
If you need something with more interior room, cargo space or towing capacity greater than 6,000 pounds, you will be better off looking at some of the larger mid-size trucks from Dodge or Nissan, or even a full-size pickup.
For 2011, the Canyon gains available Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity, redesigned front seat head restraints and OnStar 9.0 with six-months of Directions and Connections service.
Driving Impressions The 2011 GMC Canyon's greatest improvement over older GMC compact trucks can be found in its chassis and powertrain. The body-on-frame chassis is extremely rigid and you can feel it...in the way the Canyon handles, both off-road and while cornering. Even over washboard roads, the Canyon exhibited none of the dash-rattling or squeaks that might be expected, although the rear axle does hop around quite a bit. GMC has created a number of performance and off-road packages to enhance the Canyon's rugged image. Oddly, despite its short wheelbase, the Canyon exhibits an unusually large turning radius. As for power, the standard in-line four-cylinder is fairly potent for such a small engine. When ordered with the manual transmission, it also offers exceptionally good fuel economy.
Tailgate Design
The Canyon's tailgate can be set at a 55-degree angle that aligns the top of the tailgate with the tops of the wheel housings, thus allowing easy loading and hauling of large, flat panels.
Side-Curtain Airbags
Standard side-curtain airbags are an important safety feature that can protect occupants in the event of a side impact accident.
The Canyon's interior layout is highly functional, with all the gauges and controls within clear sight and easy reach of the driver. The seats offer firm bottoms and good lumbar support and the cloth fabric is both durable and comfortable. Crew Cab models offer a usable but somewhat upright rear seat, while Extended Cabs feature two, limited-use flip down seat bottoms best used on short trips and with short passengers. The Canyon offers a bit more contrast inside than its Chevy cousin, which helps break up the monotone color scheme and lends an upscale look.Exterior
Bulging fender flares and bright alloy wheels punctuate the Canyon's tall slab sides. Regular Cab models ride on a 111.3-inch wheelbase while Extended and Crew Cab models ride on a 126.0-inch wheelbase. The bed length for the Regular and Extended Cab models is about six feet, while that for the Crew Cab model is just over five feet. Both beds feature tall sidewalls, for deeper storage, which give the Canyon best-in-class cargo volume. The Canyon has a clever tailgate that can be opened flat or set at a 55-degree angle, effectively placing the top of the tailgate in line with the tops of the rear wheel wells for easy hauling of large, flat panels.
The 2011 GMC Canyon SL has a 2.9-liter four-cylinder engine that develops a healthy 185 horsepower. You'll also find a five-speed manual, air conditioning, cruise control, anti-lock brakes (ABS), StabiliTrak stability control, head curtain airbags, chrome front and rear bumpers, dual outside mirrors, automatic headlamps, a tilt steering wheel, AM/FM stereo with XM Satellite Radio, and tachometer. Various additions for the SLE levels of trim include a CD/MP3 player and upgraded upholstery and trim items.
Options include four-wheel drive, a four-speed automatic transmission, power windows, power door locks, power mirrors, auto-dimming rearview mirror, running boards, automatic locking rear differential, the Z71 off-road package, a tow package, Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity, a chrome package featuring chrome fuel door and exhaust tips, power and heated leather seating, ZQ8 sport suspension and 17- and 18-inch wheels.
Engine choices for the Canyon include four- and five-cylinder powerplants, as well as an optional V8. The standard 2.9-liter four and the optional 3.7-liter five might seem small, but they are both big on power. The 2.9-liter four produces an impressive 185 horsepower and offers up most of its 190 pound-feet of torque between the ranges of 1200 and 5600 rpm. That's enough power to muscle any lightly-equipped four-wheel drive vehicle through the toughest terrain. The optional 3.7-liter engine makes 242 horsepower. Both of these engines produce class-leading horsepower while returning outstanding fuel economy. While the 5.3-liter V8 offers impressive power, its fuel economy figures fall far short of its smaller stable mates.}

"I bought this truck new and have personally driven 99% of the miles. Good power out of the 5-cylinder engine with consistent 23 MPG (blend city/hwy). Have had a few minor issues with the Delphi electronics, mainly nuisance stuff like the fan relay and window switches. Truck has held up well to rural conditions - bumpy dirt roads & such. Could have a bit more strength in the towing capacity - a friend with similar model added spring stiffeners and greatly increased towing."

"had some minor electrical problems with window switches, and 4X4 actuator, however, repaired without problems by dealer. Do not like the front rotor/abs design but problem came up at 150K and was resolved by replacing with timkin hubs. Still, rotor replacement is a pain. Best think I can pass on is to replace rotors, pads, calipers, hubs, and abs sender all at the same time and you will have no problems. Had 154K on truck before first pad change !!!! all highway driving. I have the 20005 off road Z71, 4 door, 4x4 3.5L crew cab and should a chipped the the computer to increase mpg (g force chip) early in life!! the truck will pull a house (fully loaded dump trailer) !!! run 85mph down the road in wind, and have never been stuck (mud, snow up to the windows, and sand at angles.

Redbirds Add Pair of FBS Transfers to Roster
Follow @ISURedbirds Tweet #ISUATH
Aug. 6, 2012
NORMAL, Ill. - The Illinois State football team added a pair of Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) transfers Monday, when head coach Brock Spack announced the additions of former Illinois wide receiver Anthony Williams and former Washington tight end Marlion Barnett to the football program.
Williams, a native of Virginia Beach, Va., will have three years of eligibility remaining with the Redbirds and played in a pair of games for the Illini in 2011. The 6-foot-4, 210-pound wideout played against Indiana and Ohio State last season and sat out the 2010 season as a redshirt. During his prep career at Atlantic Shores High School, Williams recorded 59 catches for 848 yards and seven touchdowns as a senior on the way to being named a First-Team All-State Division II selection.
Spack believes Williams will add some much-needed length at the receiver position after the loss of Brandon Newbern to a knee injury during spring camp.
"We were looking for a big receiver and Anthony was hoping for more playing time, so we thought it would be a great fit," Spack said. "He's a tall, athletic player and was familiar with the program after playing for a season with Evan Frierson and Nate Palmer in Champaign. The coaches liked his ability, and we look forward to getting him into the mix at the receiver position."
Barnett, a native of Corona, Calif., will have two years remaining at ISU after playing two seasons with the Huskies. The 6-foot-2, 225-pound tight end saw significant action in 2010, playing in nine of the Huskies' 13 games with four starting assignments. He totaled four catches for 31 yards that season, including two catches for 15 yards in a victory over Syracuse. Coming out of high school, Barnett was rated as the No. 20 tight end prospect in the country by Scout.com.
After recognizing a need to bolster the tight end and h-back position after spring drills, Spack hopes Barnett can contribute as both an in-line blocker and a receiving threat in the Redbird offense.
"We thought we needed a little more depth at tight end and needed another end of the line blocker," Spack said. "He started four games as redshirt freshman at Washington at the tight end/h-back position, but got beat out by a good player last year and was looking for a change and more opportunity to play. We think he can do that at this level and should help bolster our numbers at the position."
Williams and Barnett have joined their teammates for fall workouts and will return to the field Monday at 3 p.m., for the third practice of fall camp.

Construction underway on HCC campus
Submitted by Leigh-Anne Mauk on Fri, 07/16/2010 - 2:34pm
A parking committee is working quickly to reconfigure parking on campus to accommodate the needs of our campus community during construction. Parts of K1 and K2 parking lots will be affected.
A variety of construction projects are now underway on the HCC campus and include an expanded 450-space student parking lot, as well as the construction of a new, five-story Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) building.
Construction of the new student parking lot
In June 2010, HCC began construction on a new student parking lot in the rear of campus near the Alumni Amphitheater. The new parking lot (parking lot N) will add an additional 450 spaces to campus for use by students and is expected to be completed by September 2010.
Construction of the new STEM building
In June 2010, HCC awarded the construction contract for the new Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) building to Hess Construction and Engineering Services, Inc. Construction crews are now on campus and the project is underway.
When completed, the new STEM facility will provide approximately 65,000 square feet of laboratories, classrooms, and faculty offices in a five-story structure to be built between the existing Science and Classroom Buildings, which will also be renovated. The STEM building will contain green roof components, as well as solar, wind, and geothermal energy components.
Due to safety concerns, access to the construction site will only be open to those directly involved in the project. A perimeter fence has been put in around the construction area. Please respect the construction signs and remain outside the protective fencing.
A parking committee is working quickly to reconfigure parking on campus to accommodate the needs of our campus community during construction. Parts of K1 and K2 parking lots will be affected.
The STEM building project is scheduled to be completed in the fall 2011.
Regular updates will be posted online at www.hagerstowncc.edu/about-hcc/facilities. You can also follow HCC on facebook and twitter to receive updates about construction, parking, and more.

A beautiful bottle made from naturally BPA-Free and lead-free glass. The eddy™ Glass .7L water bottle won't retain odors or tastes, so you always get clear, clean hydration that's good to go. You can sip without tipping thanks to our patented flip-top bite valve technology. The whole package is wrapped in a stylish silicone sleeve that adds protection to potential impact areas. Available in 4 colors. Dishwasher safe.
Silicone sleeve adds extra protection to potential impact areas
As with all glass products, the eddy Glass bottle could break if dropped.
No tipping required. Just flip open the bite valve and sip.
Durable, easy to carry and spill proof
CamelBak® Got Your Bak™ Guarantee: If we built it, we'll Bak it™ with our lifetime guarantee.
The eddy Glass bottle can be easily cleaned with a bottle brush using warm water and mild soap. Glass bottle and silicone sleeve are top-rack dishwasher safe. After dishwashing, be sure to let eddy Glass cool completely before use.
Cleaning the lid:
The bite valve, straw and lid can be cleaned in the top rack of the dishwasher or by hand with warm, soapy water. Pull off the bite valve and straw from the cap. If you like to use a bottle brush, we don't recommend forcing a brush through the Bite Valve slit. If you have the brush kit, run the small brush through the straw.
For a deeper cleaning, add a drop of mild soap or tablespoon of bleach to a clean glass jar filled with water. Drop the bite valve, straw and cap into the solution, and tightly close the jar's lid. Shake the mixture around for 30 seconds, and then let the parts soak for about 15 minutes. Rinse and shake dry.
To re-assemble the lid:
Flip the stem collar (the component the bite valve attached to originally) to the open position. Orient the bite valve so the finger tab points towards the front of the cap. Push the bite valve firmly onto the stem collar. Press the straw back into place on the bottom of the lid. Ensure the straw covers the notches completely.

I love this bottle. I needed a second water bottle to keep at work. I opted for glass for several reasons: heavy;hard to tip over on my desk, easier to clean and doesn't retain tastes. It also retains temperature better than plastic. I knew I wouldn't be carrying it or working out with it. CamelBak spill-proof design ensures my paperwork doesn't get wet if I do tip over the bottle!

I was very excited that camelbak came out with a glass bottle. Unfortunately the glass broke the first week I used the bottle at work. I have used glass Lifefactory water bottles before in which they have been dropped indoors and have not broken. The camelbak bottle shattered immediately with the first fall.

I loved this thing... and then it DIED!
By JeannePecan
from Triangle, NC
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Comments about CamelBak eddy™ Glass .7L:
So, I got my glass Eddy for a Christmas present last year, and we soon became inseparable. I'm a straw-biter by nature, so the Camelbak design is perfect. I was also drawn to the nonporous glass idea; something that wouldn't absorb odors if I left it in my car. I took this bottle everywhere. I was the best hydrated broad out there.Then, tragedy.After sending it through the dishwasher, I removed the silicone sleeve to prevent mildew. This was my first mistake. To protect my bottle while its sleeve dried out, I slipped it in a Camelbak neoprene coozie. Second mistake. The coozie provided a false sense of security. I thought my beloved bottle would be protected from any harm that may befall it. I was so, so wrong.First, let me say that I'd dropped this thing more than a few times while in its silicone cocoon without so much as a scratch. I (erroneously) thought this bottle was tougher than the average glass bottle.Ugh... not true.For reasons known only to the Universe, my bottle - still in its coozie but without its mutant-strength-like silicone sleeve - slipped from my husband's hands onto a solid concrete floor and freaking SHATTERED. Sharded into tiny little fragments of death. It didn't break with dull edges like tempered glass does. It disintegrated like... I don't know... a Ming vase? I'm still trying to get the infinitesimal bits of shrapnel out of the coozie a week later.Before the cruch heard 'round the store, I ADORED this bottle. I'll probably by another one, even if Camelbak doesn't improve the resilience of the glass. A word of caution: do not, under any circumstances, leave the silicone sleeve off of this bottle for an extended period of time. Let the bottle dry, let the sleeve dry, and then reunite them as quickly as possible.And a suggestion for Camelbak: Temper the glass. There's really no reason my bottle should have shattered like that. Yes, it was dropped on a concrete floor, and yeah, okay, laws of physics say it was destined to break. But the amount of shrapnel (and there's no other word for it) left after we threw out the (very loosely described as) big pieces is a little bit ridiculous.All told, I'd still recommend it to a friend. And I'll still probably by another one.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Love this bottle - getting two more
By Lee
from Apex, NC
I can throw this in my bag and it never leaks. I tip it over at work and at the gym and it NEVER leaks. I've dropped it a few times but on wood floors and carpet, so more forgiving surfaces than some might have. I love that there is no plastic or metal taste. If you use it constantly like I do be careful to keep the mouth piece clean. I use a Q-tip to clean between dishwasher runs. I finally lost it and am buying two more to replace it.
Love this product
By Kay
from Southeast Ohio
I love this product. I had been eyeing the glass bottle for months, and finally received it as a gift. I use it literally every day. It goes with me to work, on car trips, and I use it at home. I've dropped the bottle several times indoors, and its never broken. I love that it doesn't leak-- perfect for sitting on my desk while at work and throwing into my bag when I'm on the go.

broken and no chance buying or replacing
By Espie (Hope)
from Duarte, California
About Me Professional/Guide
Used it at work, my job Special Educator for severely handicapped. I accidentally dropped it and it fell on the linoleum kitchen floor and broke. I asked if I could buy the glass jar only and they said no, it was not in the warranty I wish they would change their policy on this incident I was willing to "buy" the bottle.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

By Teletasha

Glass is Bak. Very happy about that as I don't like harmful chemicals leeching into my drinks. I also like that drink flavors don't leech into the bottle. It's great when my water tastes like water and not like whatever flavor drink I may have had in the bottle before it.

This is the best water bottle I have ever had. The bite-to-sip top took a little getting used to, but it is fine now. I love knowing that harmful chemicals from plastics aren't getting into my water!

Service and delivery comments:
Delivery was prompt and condition was perfect. The only delivery issue I encountered was the name that appeared on my credit card wasn't CamelBak even though I ordered it directly from this site. Scared me a little, I thought there was a fraudulent charge. Also FYI it is made in France, if that matters to you!

Pangea's award-winning facial toner gets rid of lingering oil and impurities so that your skin can soak up all that your serums and moisturizers have to offer. The formula has a revitalizing citrus scent that is ideal for morning and nighttime skincare routines or on-the-go dermal pick-me-ups.
I've purchased this several times now. It's a light natural toner that is gentle on my sking. It removes oil without making your skin feel tight and dry.
I had never used a spray toner before this product. I love it. It is refreshing and gives a boast to your mood when you spray it on.
This toner smells great and it SO refreshing after a nice shower. I love the spray bottle to spritz it directly onto your face and not create more waste using cotton pads. I haven't noticed a huge difference in my skin, but I DO know that I normally get very dry from other toners, and this one doesn't dry me out at all!
Given I have pretty sensitive skin, I think something in this (maybe the fragrance?) irritated my skin a little. Slightly after use I felt heat and stinging on my skin. However, I gave the rest of the bottle to a friend and she couldn't stop gushing!
Honestly, I haven't noticed any change in my skin with this product. I like that it is simple to spray and let dry instead of having to use a cotton pad. I also find the smell pleasant and refreshing. But as a toner, it really works about as well as spraying scented water on your face. Smells good, doesn't do a whole heck of alot except get your face wet.
Much too fragranced, irritated my skin from all the unnecessary essential oils and too drying because of the alcohol. A very poorly formulated product.
I loved this product, but after a week I started breaking out. I think it was just to much moisture for my sensitive skin. I think I will try it again in the winter though, when my skin is dry and flakey.
Pangea Organics has quickly become one of my favorite skincare brands!
Refreshes my face really well after being on the plane for 6+ hours!
i reaally like this toner, i havent used toners in forever because they usually dry me out real bad and make my skin feel really tight. This toner doesnt do that at all, love that it comes with a spray head, so easy and fast. LOVE

Is there any reason why you think it quiets more than the original FC string stop?
Firecat 400
Sounds like it made a big difference thats good to know. In your opinion do you feel that the factory string stop should be of softer rubber? Im just going off a review I read, Ive purchased a limbsaver replacement for mine.

Partner Solution: (Rivet Logic) Enterprise Collaboration with the Confluence Wiki and Alfresco
For many organizations, wiki solutions are quickly becoming a common way to facilitate communication and collaboration around planning, projects and departmental matters. However, while wikis have proven to be extremely useful, documents continue to live in different locations, resulting in inefficiency and redundancy. While some users choose to access documents through a file server, others may prefer direct access via the wiki.
Join Rivet Logic to learn how the Confluence Alfresco Integration rivet (CAIr) solves this problem by seamlessly integrating Confluence – the leading enterprise wiki – with the content management services of Alfresco. CAIr leverages Alfresco's open platform to store and manage documents through the wiki interface. Documents stored within Alfresco can then be searched, transformed, translated, versioned, and so on. All documents are then accessible through the wiki interface, as well any of Alfresco's numerous interfaces.

HP Has Another Crack At Stimulating Interest In Their PC Products After Big Losses + Fines
By David Richards | Wednesday | 02/10/2013
Struggling US technology company Hewlett-Packard, which last year reported losses in Australia of $58M after being ordered to pay a $3M fine for misleading consumers about the warranties associated with their PC's, is having another crack at trying to stimulate interest in its PC range after witnessing a significant fall in sales during the past 12 months.
On October 15th the company is set to roll out several new PC products at a media event. This will be the first time that the company has held a press event after a Federal Court Judge slammed it for misleading consumers about their warranty rights associated with its PC and printer products.
Among the products set to launched by HP Australia is a new line-up of Intel Haswell-powered laptops for business users, including a business ultrabook that the company claims has passed nine military grade durability tests.
Ironically,iIn July 2013, HP Australia conceded to the Federal Court that it had engaged in conduct which was misleading and deceptive, or likely to mislead or deceive.
It was also revealed that several Hewlett Packard Computer Products purchased prior to 1 January 2011 were not of merchantable quality and when consumers complained or tried to get their HP products fixed, the company refused or failed to remedy the failure of the HP product or it took an unreasonable period of time to fix problems associated with their notebooks.
The Company which is desperate to kick-start their PC sales in Australia claim that H-P's Elitebook 800 series business ultrabook is 40 percent thinner and 28 percent lighter than the range that it replaces, the Elitebook 8000 series.
The new models are claimed to feature strong resistance against pressure, humidity, temperature, drop impacts, physical shock, dust and moisture including spillage.
Three versions will be available: the 12-inch 820 G1, the 14-inch 840 G1 and the 15-inch 850 G1, each with a "leather feel" material covering its chassis.
H-P Australia will unveil its latest business offerings at a media event in Sydney on October 15. The range is said to encompass "workstations, thin clients, commercial notebooks and desktops, laser and ink-based printing technologies".
According to documents filed with the Australian Securities & Investment Commission earlier this year, HP Australia went from a profit in 2011 of $134M to a loss of $58M in 2012. A contributor to the loss was a $30M tax liability.
Sale of goods revenue in 2012 slumped from $2.58 billion in 2011 to $2.18 billion.
Also slumping was finance revenue, which fell from $6.3M to $5.16M.
Also impacting HP Australia was a move by the Federal Court which slapped Hewlett-Packard with a $3 million fine after a lengthy investigation by the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission, which concluded that HP management engaged in a "widespread and systemic" process that resulted in hundreds of consumers being misled by the Australian subsidiary.
ACCC chairman Rod Sims said it was an important case. "The misconduct was widespread and systemic from a very large multinational firm."

RENO — Washoe County School District is one of three finalists in the nation for the 2011 Council of Urban Boards of Education (CUBE) Annual Award for Urban School Board Excellence, an award that recognizes one school district a year that demonstrates exemplary school board governance and improved student achievement.
In the announcement of the finalists for the CUBE Annual Award, the National School Boards Association (NSBA) said, "Nevada's Washoe County School District has had an aggressive agenda of change and reform.
Working together, the superintendent, the school board, staff and teachers have made impressive gains in a short amount of time to address the high dropout rate and improve student achievement."
"It is a tremendous honor to be named a finalist in this program," WCSD Board of Trustees President Barbara McLaury said. "When the Board of Trustees called for change in 2009, we knew we needed to implement serious reforms immediately to truly impact the lives of our students. It is inspiring to see such strong results in the first two years since we started down this pathway of reform."
WCSD Superintendent Heath Morrison commented that he is proud of the hard work of educators and the community that led to achievements discussed in the district's CUBE Annual Award application. "The dedication of our teachers, principals and staff led to the two consecutive years of test score increases and graduation rate improvements. We have implemented ambitious reforms that directly target the needs of our students and we are seeing them perform better and better every day. We are greatly excited to be nominated as a finalist for this top honor in the academic industry."
The three finalists were selected by an independent judging panel based on materials submitted by the school district, independent follow-up research, and information provided by the district's state school boards association. The judges selected the finalists based on the following four criteria:
Excellence in school board governance
Building civic capacity
Closing the achievement gap — equity in education
Demonstrated success of academic excellence
WCSD's application explained the district's pathway of reform, including the creation of Envision WCSD 2015 — Investing In Our Future, the school district's strategic plan. Through that reform agenda, WCSD's graduation rate improved seven percentage points in 2010 from 56 percent to 63 percent. An additional increase is anticipated for the class of 2011 and details are to be released later this week.
The CUBE Award application for WCSD also cited impressive gains on test scores, which show significant evidence of narrowing the achievement gap. Between 2006 and 2010, African-American students improved their third-grade reading scores by 19 percentage points, while Hispanic students improved by 12 percentage points. These two groups also posted 20-plus percentage point gains in third-grade math, as did limited English and low-income students. Fifth- and eighth-graders made similar gains.
Massachusetts' Boston Public Schools and Texas' Mesquite Independent School District are the other two urban school districts that were named finalists for CUBE's top honor. The winner of the 2011 CUBE Annual Award for Urban School Board Excellence will be presented on Oct. 8 during the CUBE Annual Conference in New Orleans.
"The CUBE Award finalists are proof that diverse urban school districts can succeed, even during difficult economic times," said Anne L. Bryant, executive director of NSBA. "All three of the finalists have made extraordinary efforts to reach students and increase student achievement."

NAS member Catherine Fowler presents at UNR
RENO — Catherine (Kay) Fowler, University of Nevada, Reno foundation professor of anthropology emerita, is nationally recognized for the work she did during her 40 years of teaching and research at the University's College of Liberal Arts. Her work helped to preserve the indigenous languages, culture, land and heritage of the Great Basin's Native people. Fowler will be honored and reflect on her work at a free presentation open to the public at the Wells Fargo Auditorium on the First Floor of the University's Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center at 4 p.m. Wednesday.
Fowler will be joined by special guests Dr. Thomas Schwenk, vice president of the University of Nevada, Reno Division of Health Sciences and dean of the University of Nevada School of Medicine; and Maurice Fuerstenau, University of Nevada, Reno professor emeritus of metallurgy. The three — Fowler, Schwenk and Fuerstenau — share a special bond. Each of them has been selected for membership into one of the three national academies, one of the highest honors a scientist, researcher or scholar can receive.
Fuerstenau was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1991, and Schwenk was elected to the Institute of Medicine in 2002. Fowler completed the trifecta for Nevada when she was elected to the National Academy of Sciences this year, joining an elite group of about 2,100 scholars, almost 200 of them also Nobel Prize winners. Since the national academy's founding in 1863 by President Abraham Lincoln, the nation's leaders have turned to the National Academy of Sciences and its two sister organizations for advice on the most important scientific and technological issues of the day.
Fowler was also elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences this year.
VFW announces scholarship
SPARKS — The Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Ladies Auxiliary announce that the theme for the 2011–2012 $10,000 Patriot's Pen National Contest is, "Are You Proud of Your Country?" The program is open to all students from grades 6-8 and it consists of an essay between 300-400 words.
There is also a program that involves high school students. The Voice of Democracy awards a $30,000 national scholarship. This year's theme is "Is there Pride in Serving in our Military?" The competition consists of a 3-5 minute speech.
All public, private and parochial students are encouraged to participate. Entries are to be submitted to the local post by Nov. 1. District Winners will be invited to attend a mid-winter conference and the winners at this level will win a trip to Washington, D.C., to compete at the national level.
The VFW and Ladies Auxiliary are a group of men and women who "Honor the dead by supporting the living."
TMCC's journal receives gold circle award for excellence
RENO — Truckee Meadows Community College's (TMCC) distinguished literary and art journal, the Meadow, recently received the Columbia Scholastic Press Association's gold circle award for excellence for its 2011 issue. The gold circle awards recognize exceptional work created by student journalists working with media that is published in schools or colleges throughout the United States and overseas. Awards will be presented in New York City at the Association's annual convention held each March.
"Receiving this award is quite an honor and illustrates the immense amount of talent that our students possess," said Dr. Maria Sheehan, president of TMCC. "Each year I am amazed with the creativity and imagination behind each work of art. The incredible caliber of students that we have at TMCC is evident through the constant recognition they receive on behalf of the college."
The Columbia Scholastic Press Association began the gold circle awards in 1984 to serve student journalists and set the standard for expectation and success. The competition to acquire the award can be seen in previous years; more than 13,000 entries were submitted and only 1,000 awards were given.
The Meadow is published each spring and accepts poetry, fiction, artwork, graphic design work and other literary and artistic pieces. The publication welcomes a variety of work from beginning and experienced writers and artists making it a diverse collection of talent. Students that are passionate about literary arts, graphic design and creative writing are encouraged to participate on the editorial board for class credit. By enrolling in 'ENG 299 Literary Journal' students will become members of the board and learn about the operation, editing, production and printing of a literary journal. For more information or to participate on the editorial board, visit http://www.tmcc.edu/meadow/.

Rainier Pavillion Expansion Project
New birth center, expanded NICU, new adult inpatient rooms opens at Tacoma General Hospital
The six-story, 105,929-square-foot Rainier Pavilion is part of a $192 million project to expand services for women, newborns and children at Tacoma General Hospital and Mary Bridge Children's Hospital in Tacoma, Wash. The departments will transition into the new areas by the end of March 2014.
Tacoma General's NICU will feature 51 private rooms that will comfortably accommodate families who are critical partners in caring for fragile newborns. One room is even designed for twins or multiples.
Both the NICU and the Family Birth Center are connected to MultiCare Mary Bridge Children's Hospital, southwest Washington's only pediatric hospital.
The first phase of this project opened in May 2013, when two inpatient floors, including a new Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, were added to Mary Bridge Children's Hospital. The two floors totaling 47,537 square feet were added atop the Milgard Pavilion on Martin Luther King Jr. Way.
After the new birth center and NICU move to the new building, the project will wrap up with a refresh and remodel of the vacated spaces.
When the final phase of the project is complete, the project will have added 153,466 square feet of new space and 144,835 square feet of renovated space.
Since the founding of Tacoma's first hospital in 1882, MultiCare's history has been defined by the ability to respond to the health care needs of our community. The early hospital's growth was attributed to many of the same issues that drive today's decisions: higher standards for safety, better technology for patients, and increased comfort and privacy for families.
Building Dreams Together
The expansion is supported by Building Dreams Together: The MultiCare Campaign for Healthy Children. This campaign will help build the facilities, buy the equipment and make the investments necessary to care for fragile babies and vulnerable children right here in our community.

The portion that goes around your ears could be a tad larger. They seem small and after an hour or two are unconfortable. The sould quaility is pretty good. Be sure and download the disc so you can adjust the highs and lows.
